There is one question I've not read either asked or answered.
My limited experience with various sound suppressing devices attached to a fire arm has shown some to reduce the muzzle velocity by varying amounts some to the point of a noticeable amount of additional recoil felt in the weapon also greatly reducing the foot pounds second or meter kilograms seconds in your case. greatly altering the anticipated penetration depth of a particular round.
have you had a chance or inclination to preform any tests which could offer you a determination of a round's effectiveness striking the target.
Accuracy is always a primary concern but you seem to have managed to be able to dial in a predictability to that issue. I might add in a most intriguing way I'm trying to remember if or where I had seen that method before.
Bear in mind I make no claim to be a gunsmith even a novice one even though I have repaired my fair share of fire arms.
I unfortunately don't have the means of testing the energy levels etc, but even over a longer distance (30M) rounds still appear effective and still on target as they would be without the suppressor. I do believe though the the wet suppressors or suppressors that contain the rubber wipers tend to reduce the velocity somewhat. I have never fired one, so wouldn't be able to confirm that though.

Since the round leaving the barrel in my case doesn't come into contact with anything inside the suppressor, I do not believe that there will be a noticeable or measurable difference. What I do feel though is a noticeable reduction in recoil, but that I would assume (bad word) is due to the added weight so far forward on the barrel.
